Former US President Bill Clinton said he would “strongly support” an effort by President Barack Obama to issue his own Middle East peace plan that will be based on the model he presented at the Camp David negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority a decade ago.

“If he decides to do it, I will support it. And I think if he decides to do it, he should acknowledge that they (Israel and the Palestinians) may come up with a deal that’s slightly different than the one he proposes, but we need to do something to deprive both sides of any excuse not to engage in serious negotiations,” Clinton said in an interview aired Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”
